How does this all come to a crashing end? Oddly in September

|| 267 : 24 Sep 2025 @10:52 || Goodness’ “Superwise” from their 1995 album “Goodness” spins on KEXP’s The Morning Show with John Richards

hello. here’s a good thing – we need all the good things we can find, eh?

The other day a listener wrote in to thank good soul John R. for sharing this site: fixthenews.com (funny thing – typo’d ‘fistthe… ‘ which, I mean. yeah – 2025. wow.

We must not forget – there’s so much good in this world! fixthenews.com is trying to help us find those stories! As they asked – “What if we could fix it?” – well then, there’s some more hope in the world. So – yes!!

Did I mention good soul John R is holding a ‘Cures-day’ tomorrow – Thursday Sep 25, 2025? He is!! 14 day streaming archive at the web site – support what you love!

… ‘Cold Pizza’ – at tractor – fuck. the humanity that is always – ALWAYS missing from the folk who for some reason have devoted their lives to cruelty… fuck. and so those like John keep hope alive, we are not alone.

With sister Shari I hear of the ‘youngs’ taking their steps along the end stage journey… how good soul A. worked thru … folk spoke of the weirdness – but tell me this – what SHOULD it be like, grappling with finality. May the memories be a blessing…

|Wed 17 Sep 2025 @12:56| – kexp spins shoegaze tracks, good soul John calls out ‘listen, while it’s still legal. post, but ya know – be wary.’ – cause ‘Merica!! – Fuck yeah!!!

I’m wrestling with how to hold my ground, have a conversation, with full knowledge that doing so endangers the kiddo. I mean – wow. Didn’t think all this through very well, did I?

oh- hey – how are you? Hope you’re getting along decently – not too much pain and anger, not too much understanding and disgust. I know, I know – nowadays, such a difficult hurdle to clear. But – you know – there’s a shitton of good in the world. We must not forget.

Kiddo’s in the thrall of destruction and what’s the biggest? and “I’d just nuke ’em!!” … the enjoyment of war planes and tanks, armament and full tilt ‘crush them then nuke them’ – it’s not even remotely beyond the scope of happy and healthy growing imagination, but the focus, the ‘constant’-ness of it; wow am I not dealing well with it. Huh. I mean – what DO I deal with well, right? Boo’s supportive of the struggle, and points out rightly that I may be making the ‘concern’ bigger than it needs/deserves. But yeah. That’s happening.

Have I mentioned just how damn cute the kiddo is?
